Xie Lin turned around and saw a counselor named Lin Ruyu whom he trusted very much.

The origin of this person is quite mysterious. Even Xie Lin's close generals don't know it. They only know that he is meticulous and thoughtful in his work, and he came up with many ideas when he was in Xiwu.

"Come on." Xie Lin said calmly.

Lin Ruyu looked around, her eyes moving slightly.

Xie Lin understood and said: "You guys go out first."

The others immediately retreated. When there was no third pair of ears in the commander's tent, Lin Ruyu slowly said: "General, based on our understanding of Tang Youzhi, this person will never advance rashly, even if all eleven military strongholds fall.

, if not

With a certain degree of confidence, he would not dare to fight us, let alone seek a decisive battle on his own initiative? Therefore, my subordinates guessed that the Liang Army on the northern front had reinforcements that we have not discovered yet, and this is where Tang Youzhi's confidence lies."

"Reinforcements?"

Xie Lin raised his eyebrows slightly. He changed his previous style this time. He did not use cavalry to attack on a large scale. He almost advanced step by step. In order to cooperate with the battle situation on the southern front and Hucheng, he wanted to control the more than 70,000 people in Longgong Camp.

All the people were crucified near Xishan Village.

He had conducted more than ten deductions in the past few days and found no possibility of Tang Youzhi receiving reinforcements.

Lin Ruyu said calmly: "The cavalry that appeared a few days ago, numbering about 10,000, should be the Zangfeng Guards who defeated the Wang family's children before. Their leader is named Pei Yue, who is Pei Zhen's grandson.

He was originally unknown, but in the past two years he has suddenly become famous and has become an upstart in the Liang Army. My subordinates have studied this person's information and found that his actions may seem crazy, but in fact he is extremely mature."

Xie Lin sneered: "No matter how experienced he is, he can't conjure an army of tens of thousands out of thin air."

"This is natural." Lin Ruyu responded and continued: "But why did he go to solve the dilemma of Guyuan Village first? According to his subordinates, since his cavalry has a certain strength, then come directly to Xishan Village, is it right?

Not Tang Youzhi’s most reliable help? The core of the current war situation lies in Xishan Village, not the corners. Even if Pei Yue is young and does not understand the art of war, Tang Youzhi will never make such a mistake."

These words made Xie Lin fall into deep thought. His eyes stayed on the position of Guyuan Village on the sand table. After a long time, he said: "Are you trying to say that the reason why he went to Guyuan Village was not to defeat our soldiers?"

Lin Ruyu nodded and said: "It's definitely more than that. If he goes to Guyuan Village, he can certainly relieve the crisis there, but perhaps the most important purpose is to open up the connection between the northern front war situation and Hucheng!"

Xie Lin shook his head slightly and said, "In that case, why does he continue to go north to aid Hugong Village and Wumeng Village one after another?"

Lin Ruyu said solemnly: "This is just a cover-up. General, please see, Guyuan, Gongshan and Wumeng Village are not far away from each other, and they are laid out from south to north. If Pei Yue immediately goes to the direction of Southwest Hucheng after supporting Guyuan Village

, our

The cavalry can definitely stop him. But if he continues to go north now, he may be able to hide it from the general, thinking that he wants to solve our offensive along the way, and finally join up with Tang Youzhi's army at Xishan Village."

Xie Lin paced slowly beside the sand table. After receiving the news that the three thousand light cavalry responsible for the Wumeng Village offensive had been destroyed, he immediately sent out his five thousand elite cavalry and rushed directly to Linjiang Village. If Pei Yue's purpose

If it really solves Da Wu's offensive in other places, then Linjiang Village will be an important town that cannot be bypassed.

He did not believe that the 5,000 elite men in his hands could not defeat Pei Yue's 8,000 cavalry.

After a moment, Xie Lin muttered: "You want to say that after Pei Yue aided Wumeng Village, he achieved the purpose of mobilizing our cavalry on the one hand, and on the other hand, he immediately rushed to the direction of Hucheng, hoping to defeat me and stay in Beitiao.

The cavalry on the north bank of the river?"

Lin Ruyu said seriously: "It's very possible! He also has a third purpose, which is to transfer the elite cavalry in our army to further reduce the pressure on Tang Youzhi. Only in this way can Tang Youzhi dare to take the initiative to march, and so can the cavalry in Xishan Village.

Come out. General, after your subordinates thought about it over and over, this is a set of rules.

A serial plan. The Tibetan front guard in Pei Yue's hands is definitely not weak, so he dared to go deep alone and attack all the way north from Guyuan Village, imitating what Pei Zhen did back then. When our troop deployment is disrupted by him, this person can take advantage of the fire.

, mobilize the troops from Hucheng to go north, and form a pincer attack with Tang Youzhi!"

I have to say that Lin Ruyu's analysis is very reasonable. At least in Xie Lin's view, if the problem is not considered from the perspective of the entire battle situation, this plan will definitely be difficult to form.

Nowadays, there is a large army outside Hucheng, including five thousand Anyang Dragon Riders. Blocking the south gate, it can silence the defenders inside Hucheng. But Xie Lin knows the truth of the cunning rabbit's three caves, not to mention that Hucheng was the kingdom of Wu back then.

It is built to naturally leave some secret passages to prevent oneself from becoming a turtle in a urn.

Gu He

It's just that these secret passages are not like main roads, and they cannot allow the army to pass through them calmly, and they must be careful of the ambushes who have formed pockets outside.

The troops Xie Lin left on the north bank of the Beitiao River were used as ropes to tie up pockets, which was enough to trap the Hucheng defenders in the city and form a combined force with the army to the south.

If Pei Yue was really trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain and use the high mobility of the cavalry to attract his attention to Linjiang Village, I am afraid that he would have led his army to the southwest by now.

"Come here!" Xie Lin suddenly raised his tone.

"Please give me your orders, General!" a soldier came in and said, cupping his hands.

Xie Lin's eyes sparkled and he said in a deep voice: "Pegasus urgently ordered Ruijin Camp, telling them to ignore Linjiang Village and immediately rush to the station on the north bank of Beitiao River!"

"Follow the order!"

The soldiers immediately left the commander's tent.

Xie Lin looked at Lin Ruyu and said with a gentle expression on his face: "You have made another great contribution."

Lin Ruyu said humbly: "General, my subordinate is a dead man. Only by being rescued by the general can I survive. It is my duty to contribute to the general. I dare not take credit."

Xie Lin sighed with emotion: "The Lin family's affairs have nothing to do with you. You broke out of the house a long time ago. If not, I can't do anything. After all, it is His Majesty's will to confiscate the Lin family and exterminate them. Even the elders can't say anything, let alone someone like me."

An ordinary person from a poor family."

Lin Ruyu lowered her head slightly and said: "General, there is no need to be humble. As long as we can defeat the Liang army this time and completely establish the victory on the northern front, we will not be far away from becoming the Duke of the country in the future."

No one could see the cold light flashing in his eyes when he lowered his head.

Xie Lin didn't take his compliment to heart. For some reason, he was always worried in his heart, but he couldn't tell where the worry came from.

He put this thought aside for the time being, looked at Lin Ruyu's respectful demeanor, and suddenly asked: "Apart from you, is anyone in the Lin family alive?"

Lin Ruyu was startled. Facing Xie Lin's obscure eyes, a trace of sadness appeared on her face. She slowly shook her head and said: "General, the Lin family should be dead except for me."

Xie Lin sighed softly, nodded and said: "The world is indeed strange. At first, the Lin family hated you and insisted on expelling you from the house. It even made the whole city aware of it, and even His Majesty asked about it. Who can do that?

I expected that ten years later, the whole Lin family would be slaughtered, but you, an unfilial descendant, would be the one to keep a bloodline."

Lin Ruyu seemed to be remembering the past, with a look of sadness in her eyes. After a long time, she handed over her hand and said, "General, my subordinates dare not or forget your kindness."

Xie Lin waved his hand and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. You go and ask them to come in and find out the weaknesses of the main force of the Longbow Army as soon as possible."

"yes!"
